Leather Characteristics

This vegetable-tanned leather is top grade, full grain and has a nice supple feel with subtle firmness. Minerva is a vacchetta leather that is infused with a special blend of Italian fat wax giving it the famous hand and feel attributed to the vacchetta name. This leather has a beautiful smooth grain with a beautiful depth to the leather colour and will have an amazing patina as it ages. It is dyed completely through and has a nice soft flesh side. This vegetable-tanned leather has a great feel in the hand and it is easy to cut and skive.
